The current version of AzCopy no longer supports copying data from Azure Table Storage.

With that in mind, we are left using an earlier version developed using the .NET Framework which introduces a different set of problems.

Instructions follow:

  1. Download and install AzCopy 7.3
  2. Navigate to the relevant install directory eg. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\AzCopy
  3. AzCopy 7.3 does not support the latest TLS version OOTB and will fail without enabling it. To do so, copy the following with the filename: AzCopy.exe.config into the install directory
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Net.DontEnableSystemDefaultTlsVersions=false"/>
</runtime>
</configuration>
  1. Get an access key or SAS token from the portal
  2. run a command similar to: azcopy /Source:"https://<storage_account_name>.table.core.windows.net/<table_name>" /Dest:"c:\temp" /SourceSAS:<sastoken_here>
